About Uxhumano: Journey to South Africa 2015

'Uxhumano' means 'connection' in Zulu, one of the many South African languages. We feel that this word embodies the intentions that we carried with us on our trip.

The juniors of Mount Madonna School traveled to South Africa in June 2015 to visit a variety of nonprofit organizations and schools, as well as the Botshabelo AIDS orphanage. Along the way they interviewed several people including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Peter Harris, and Dave Steward, and saw the environment/nature of South Africa on safari.
